About The Collection

The Museum was given nearly 5000 glass plate negatives by Joseph Hardman’s widow following his death in 1972. Taken between the 1930s and 1960s, the photographs record the traditions of Lakeland life, many of which rapidly changed or disappeared during the second half of the twentieth century.

As well as providing access to this fascinating archive we hope that putting the photographs within the public domain will allow us to build information about the people and places pictured.

If you have any information for inclusion in the photograph library, contact info@lakelandmuseum.org.uk, please also include the image reference number(s) in any emails.
